This Linux phone is ULTRA secure! 🔒 #smartphones #mwc2026

SailfishOS has very poor privacy and atrocious security. The portions of the OS they make themselves are largely closed source. It's a massive regression from the privacy and especially security of the Android Open Source Project even without the major GrapheneOS improvements. It's strange to see it marketed based on using open source code as the foundation for building it when they don't open source a huge portion of their own code. Android Open Source Project is a complete OS that's open source. SailfishOS user interface and application layer is largely closed source. SailfishOS doesn't provide anything close to bare minimum privacy and security patches. It lacks many important standard privacy and security protections. Bringing a desktop software stack with much worse privacy and security to mobile but while having much worse updates than a lot of Android OEMs do for similarly priced devices is hardly progress. Their Android compatibility layer is insecure and not a safe way to run Android apps. It also has very poor compatibility in practice anyway. Jolla worked with the Russian government from 2015 through 2023 and Russia took a large share of the ownership in the company. In 2023, they used a sketchy bankruptcy restructuring to drop Russian ownership of the company. Regardless, they had no problem working with them before. Russia has a state-owned fork of SailfishOS called AuroraOS. It isn't possible for others to do the same since it's not open source. European values apparently mean closely working with Putin for 8 years after initial the invasion of Ukraine. It's a strange way to market it based on their choices and history. It isn't what they claim it is in their marketing and we strongly recommend against using it. They've chosen to very actively mislead people about GrapheneOS because they feel very threatened by it so we have no problem saying what we think about it. We used to keep quiet since it's simply not very relevant.

“ULTRA secure” is not even close to accurate. Full technical breakdown here:

"Ultra secure"

the "physical switch" which is controlled digitally? Yeah, it's not physical.

It’s not. Sloppy security and parts closed source. Get a pixel phone with @GrapheneOS instead.

Physical privacy switches and swappable battery? Jolla cooking.

A hardware kill switch sounds good until you remember the MediaTek Dimensity 7100 running underneath it. MTK's baseband firmware is closed source, so there's a whole layer of the radio stack you're trusting blindly. "We compile the OS from source in Finland" doesn't mean much when the modem firmware came from Shenzhen. Several replies already flagged this. Calling it "ULTRA secure" while shipping a closed baseband is overselling it.

cannot wait for @GrapheneOS to shoot these people in the head for saying the phone is "ULTRA secure" lmao

nothing is secure... all mobile operating system use C and C++ and they are fast but not secure... especially when it comes to CIA | MOSAD | NSA

I dont care about "security" I care about freedom , does this phone allow bootloader unlock? Yes > I would consider buying it No > I will never buy it, even if "security" is used as excuse.

Android is Linux

No, it is not.

" trust me bro "

LOL, no.

Jolla are still around?!

Slow ass bitch

This is all bs.. Bring back Windows OS

Unsecure, no banking, still all china parts, "promises of updates", gay

Love the idea, a true non-ASOP Linux phone is the way forward. But I'm not sure SailfishOS is the solution.

Notch in 2026 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

That scroll looks terrible.

BS

Why do all these mobile operating systems that are just worse versions of GrapheneOS even exist?

stuttering like a low end android from 2018. looks like one, too.

UX is so clunky even a $100 chinese phone smoother than this e-waste

Stopped the Video when I heard MTK

A physical privacy switch...which is configurable in the OS. So it sends a signal to the OS to do whatever the user configured in this case. That doesn't do any good. The point of a physical privacy switch, is to mechanically cut power or data rails, completely disabling it.

look how laggy it looks lol

@Captain2Phones a review re-do anytime soon?

I'd rather buy some Chinese phone. At least I know, I will not get some EU/US spyware baked in it.

shitOS

That is laggy af

do people not know android is linux?

This turd isnt secure or private

Like Ubuntu Touch tried to do.
